Chalk up four (4) mortgages now from NOIC. 1998, 2013, 2014, and now 2015. I've purchased two…read morerentals, a primary residence, and one re-finance. I worked with Larry Simons in 1998 and then later with David Gano on the latter three. NOIC comes through where banks fail. My local banks (Adrian, MI.) pissed me off big time ..every time I tried to get a mortgage they always drove me to NOIC and NOIC always came through. I can recommend with confidence David Gano at the Monroe Office . I can be a pain to work with at times but Dave handled me like the pro that he is. He knows his products, the laws, and the industry. Lastly, Dave does his best to help you navigate through the minefield laid by the "underwriters " a clearly misunderstood group. Unfortunately I don't get them either. Getting a mortgage is never easy...Dave and NOIC get the job done. At the end of the day I get what.. I want.

I worked with David Gano, and let me say "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" (the prompt Yelp gives next…read moreto a five star rating) feels inadequate to describe my experience. "As good as it has ever been or ever shall be!" would be more accurate, but sadly a six star option is not available here. Despite the rating limitations of Yelp, let me just say that my experience with David Gano was unparalleled. G Money was patient, readily available, and extremely knowledgeable in the kinds of edge cases my particular lending situation presented. It's possible that I may need to limit all future real estate purchases to geographic regions that NOIC can operate in, just so I can stick with a tried and true guy like David. Mortgages are just about making the numbers work. Never mind whether or not you think you're prepared to get a mortgage or not -- let's face it, you'll never be REALLY ready. But that's okay. David was able to take my "surprise! guess I need a mortgage right now!" situation and make it feel like I'd been prepping for it for the last two years. It could not have been smoother. Thanks, G Money! I will give you a call the next time without hesitation.

@Jerad Kinney at Academy Mortgage was wonderful to work with. Small town service with large…read morecorporation support made me feel I was a customer not a number in the system. The thriftiness of overall process was like no other. This is my third home purchase in my life and Academy stands apart from my previous experiences. First, my loan officer made sure to give me a heads up of all the documents needed to make sure the approval process was more timely and painless. Additionally, the inter-workings of the office staff made sure to be in prompt contact when documents were required. Furthermore, their assistance to suggest correction of outdated documents from my wife and I gave me the piece of mind that nothing would be held and closing would stay on schedule. Nice job Academy! Oh, and your smart phone app is very useful too!

I worked very closely with Stephen Marrs from Academy Mortgage as my mortgage lender agent. Her was…read morevery thorough and took a great amount of time to explain every aspect of my loan costs. He also provided me with different options for loan amounts and helped me make the best choice of my loan amount based on my finances. He was always quick to get back to me regarding any questions or queries I had throughout the process. Being a potential first time home owner, I was not very knowledgeable about the process of home buying, but Stephen was very patient with me throughout the process and explained things to me to the point that I was very satisfied with all his answers, which in turn made me feel very confident about the whole loan application from the beginning to the end. Stephen also followed up with me on closing day to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Stephen to anyone who is looking for an agent who is patient, thorough and will walk you through each step of the loan application till approval and more! :)

I had initially started with a different lender who was unable to provide the type of loan I was looking for. Within less than 10 minutes of speaking to Chris, we decided on what kind of loan was most suitable for me and started the process. Within 10 days of our first discussion- I was all set to close on my house! This is almost completely unheard of in the market today. Chris and his team were so friendly and efficient, I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. First time home buyer or not- this company/team is the best option to guide you through the process all while being completely transparent and personable. Cannot thank them enough!

Not sure if you are "mortgage ready"? I got you! My job is not to just take an application and pass you off to someone else, I will take you from application to closing, and beyond. I spend a lot of time and enjoyment helping people that need credit repair or general guidance on how to qualify for a mortgage. If you aren't "mortgage ready" I'll work with you until you are. It always makes me happy when we can close on a new home after we have been working together for a year or three. Whatever it takes. I got you!!

We recently moved across the country and had to do our entire home search virtually. Matt and…read moreLindsey made the whole experience seamless from start to finish. They truly went above and beyond by recording detailed video walkthroughs of homes and doing FaceTime sessions so we could feel confident about every property we considered. What really stood out was how much time they took to help us understand each neighborhood, including the pros and cons from their honest perspective. They always made us feel like a priority. Matt made the financial side of the process unbelievably easy and was extremely diligent throughout closing. He caught mistakes from the title company that we never would have noticed ourselves, and his attention made us feel much better. Even after closing, Matt and Lindsey continued helping us by connecting us with trustworthy contractors for work on our new home. That level of service and care is rare to find. We are so grateful for everything they did for our family and would absolutely recommend them to anyone buying a home, especially if you're relocating from out of state. When the time comes to sell our house, there's no question we'll be using Matt and Lindsey again!

They were very clear when explaining the process and coached us through the steps needed to list and sell our home. Communication is definitely one of their many strengths. We always knew exactly what each step of the process would bring. When it came to negotiations, we always felt that they had our best interest in mind - and that we were well represented. I know they were working with many other sellers and buyers but it always felt like we were their primary focus. In the end we were so happy to have such a smooth sale. I highly recommend Lindsey and Matt!
